Key Features
The Goran Grooves Handy Drums Retro Custom is a streamlined drumkit with a classic soul sound. This rare, custom-made drumset is crafted from beech wood and has been sampled in a retro style, delivering that warm and punchy sound that has been made famous by legendary artists of the ?70s.
The Retro Custom is the perfect drumset for genres such as R&B, old school, disco, dance, pop, house, and classic rock. The 10? custom-made maple snare drum provides a dry and deep-sounding punch, while the 18? kick drum delivers a warm and cozy tone in the low end. The single-headed toms have napkins gaff-taped to them for that classic pillow-like sound.
This drumset has been extensively edited and carefully mixed by professionals, allowing you to focus on the musical aspects of the track. Each drum and cymbal was sampled at multiple dynamic levels and up to 12 samples per dynamic level, giving you a dynamic range that is unparalleled. With Handy Drums, you get a finished drum sound right out of the box, giving your recordings a depth and character that is truly out of this world.
